Did you know... that the life cycle of the Neptune-grass bryozoan is synchronized with the growth cycle of the seagrass on which it lives and the availability of the phytoplankton on which it feeds?

... that the life cycle of the Neptune-grass bryozoan is synchronized with the growth cycle of the seagrasses on which it lives? Source: "Bryozoa assemblage and abundances showed to be highly seasonal. In contrast to early and late spring samples, winter and autumn samples showed very low diversity and colony abundance correlating with substratum availability and environmental conditions. Autumn and winter correspond also to low P. oceanica leaves biomass due to massive leaf fall in autumn and absence of significant leaf growth in winter."

Starting Review--Kev min § 18:09, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article new enough and long enough. Hook is cited and sourced. Article sourcing and writing is neutral with no identified policy violations. The wording of the hook is accurate, though it laves out the noted seasonality correlation between the food sources and colony numbers that citation three discusses on page 62. Possibly adjusting the hook and article to reflect the connection between both host substrate and food availability.--Kev min § 19:16, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Kevmin: Thank you for the review. How about this? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:09, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome @Cwmhiraeth:, Article is still good to go, and new hook is cited and matched to sourcing in a neutral manner. Everything looks good!.--Kev min § 23:01, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
